The Premier League Primary Stars are back with another Friday Family Challenge, and this week, they want you and your family to create a character that could be part of a football-themed story, using their Create a character challenge resources.

For this week’s challenge they are teaming up with the National Literacy Trust and author Dan Freedman. Dan is the author and creator of Jamie Johnson, a football-obsessed boy hoping to become a world-class player. You might have read some of his books, or even seen the Jamie Johnson stories on CBBC! 

You can watch Dan reading from Kick Off, the first Jamie Johnson book in the series, and get a free copy of it on the National Literacy Trust Family Zone. 

You can also join Dan and TV presenter Ben Shires for a very special live event at 11:30 am BST on Tuesday 2 June. 

But before this exciting event, here is Dan to introduce this week’s challenge:
